Blest
Savior, Be My Pilot Wise – Don Fortner
(Tune:
#228 – My Faith has Found a Resting
Place CMD)
1.
I ask for grace, for grace
divine,
To cross the stormy sea.
For Christ I would the world resign.
O give such grace to me!
Blest Savior, be my Pilot wise,
Your path is in the sea;
Grant grace the billows to despise,
Which often trouble me.
2.
I must, if I would see Your
work,
Go though the waters deep.
Yet, You have promised in Your Word
My soul to safely keep.
Far more the deadly calm I dread,
Which lets me feel I’m strong,
Than storms that rage over my head,
And make my weakness known.
3.
By faith I see the heav’nly
shore,
The haven of sweet rest,
Where winds and waves disturb no
more,
Where nothing can distress!
O Holy Spirit, heav’nly Wind,
(O blessed Gale of grace!)
Come, sail me quickly to my Friend
In heav’n, my resting place!
